What part of your life has suffered or benefited most during Obama's two terms?

I've got to agree with SMSgt Minister Gerald A. "Doc" Thomas on the race relations. It seems that the divide has only been getting greater every week in this country since he took office. I don't know if it's his fault directly per se but it's had an impact felt across the country.

The sequestration and cuts in the military have also had an impact across the branches, I've seen it pretty significantly in the Air Force. Good people forced out for minor and petty things without hardly giving them a second chance. Other people getting out of their own accord constantly due to a lack of faith in leadership and burnout from high ops tempo with low manning. Others getting out simply because they're sick of all of the PC BS that keeps flooding down while the military is being used as one giant social experiment by Washington.

I look across the units I have been in so far and honestly at every unit I could probably name more people planning on ending their careers after their current enlistment is up than I can name people planning on staying in until retirement. The Air Force itself is realizing that they need to increase their numbers to meet new mission needs but they aren't pulling in half the new recruits needed while at the same time more and more skilled individuals currently in are leaving in droves to pursue better opportunities on the outside.

I hope for the sake of the AF and all branches that it gets better in the coming years but it's going to take a hell of a lot of work to fix things right now.

Race relations. Have heard some of my friends discuss the problems. Although I agree with some of it I also see a lot that seems staged. Looters are often bussed in. Protestors are bussed in. It makes our whole country look bad. Comments from the higher government that do not help.

My income. As an FAA Air Traffic Controller, Bush froze Controller (my) pay for three years, our supervisor and everyone else continue to get pay raise but we did not. Obama came into office and corrected that with controllers in his first three years. That raised my high three and so it is still benefiting me.

My portfolio has done well, and my Federal taxes have been permanently cut.

I can honestly say I don't think he had any affect on my life. I am not sure he was good for the military however.

Suffered the most from would definitely be Obamacare. Still paying off more than a grand in hospital bills when my wife used her insurance once.

I think the only part of me that benefitted during his 2 terms was me joining the Marine Corps and getting a new perspective on life which also helped shaped my perceptions on politics, country, and a lot of the things most citizens take for granted.

Like LTC Kevin B. said, my portfolio also did quite well during President Obama and his administration's tenure. This isn't saying that that he was directly involved.

I was also unemployed for a good 6 months, the social plan worked out (although that's more local government). My taxes did slightly increase, although not by a margin that I'm complaining about (I make over six figures, I don't care). My healthcare costs slightly increased (extra $20) per month, however my healthcare package is significantly better.

Overall I'm paying a little more, but I get a good return on investment.

Neither, I am responsible for what I do/don't do.

I have to submit a form to the IRS. That I have insurance.

I have a job with good health insurance. So I guess his two terms didn't affect me much.....other than going to war.
